It's not your imagination – iPhone users are worse drivers

The article doesn't dive into why this group performed worse; to me that is of much more interest than the conclusion.
Just from my own observations I would expect that this is largely due to income differences in the two groups. Rich people are more likely to own iPhones and in my experience also more likely to be careless drivers.

I think iPhone users skewing younger is likely to be the culprit.
This article was made by Android authority. Does anyone not think this would obviously have some bias?
Android Authority is actually really calm compared to the source it's reporting on:

Causation does not imply correlation.
They don’t disclose much about their methodology. All https://getjerry.com/studies/sorry-iphone-fans-android-users... says is
“Jerry analyzed data collected from 20,000 drivers during 13 million kilometers of driving over a 14-day period. The data generated an overall driving score as well as sub-scores for acceleration, speed, braking, turning, and distraction. Then we grouped the results by smartphone operating system and various demographic characteristics.”
So, that could just mean iPhone users are more likely to use their phone for route planning or that iPhones are more easily used hands-free.
IMO, this is a fluff piece designed to draw attention. That worked.
